As she spoke, the woman held up three fingers.

Su Wanning narrowed her eyes slightly, "Give her thirty taels, forget about the cakes."

Yue Shu nodded and took out a thirty-liang silver note and handed it to her.

The woman took the banknote in her hand, her face filled with joy beyond words. She glanced at the pastries in Yue Shu's hand, snorted, and slammed the door.

Su Wanning shook her head and said, "Let's go to the next one."

Before Su Wanning arrived, she heard the sound coming from the yard.

"I beg you, please let her go. She's already engaged."

"Brother, I don't want it, please let me go."

"If you let the person go, you must accompany us, otherwise we won't be able to report to the mission."

"Please let her go, I beg you."

Hearing the voices in the yard, Su Wanning and others came to the gate of the yard.

Yue Shu saw several officers pulling a woman away.

Su Wanning asked Yue Shu to stop them.

Several officers' eyes lit up when they saw Yue Shu. If they handed this man over, they would have completed their performance requirements for the past half month.

After Yue Shu rescued the woman, she could only stand aside.

"What are you all standing there for? Come on." As he spoke, he noticed someone near the courtyard gate. He looked over and was surprised for a moment when he saw the jade pendant on Su Wanning's waist.

"Stop, stop!" he shouted quickly.

They did stop, but were all knocked down by Yue Shu.

Su Wanning looked down and was surprised that the jade pendant Bai Ye gave her was quite useful.

He walked into the yard and glanced at the officers, "They are my friends."

The officer nodded angrily, waved to the other officers, and left.

The man stood up with difficulty and walked to Su Wanning, "Thank you, young lady."

"We should be the ones thanking you. If you hadn't helped us, you wouldn't be injured, and we wouldn't be standing here."

Only then did the man look carefully at Su Wanning. She was the person he had pushed to the backyard of the restaurant before.

Su Wanning looked at the yard where they lived. There were only a few simple rooms.

"Are you just the two of you?"

The man nodded and said, "After her parents passed away, I brought her to the capital."

"Is this house bought or rented?" Su Wanning asked.

"Rented." The man looked embarrassed, not knowing why Su Wanning asked this.

"The capital is so chaotic, you'd better leave as soon as possible." Su Wanning said.

The man nodded. He had originally had this idea, but now that his only relative had been threatened, he had to make other plans.

"Brother, you are injured." The woman saw the injuries on the man's body and walked over quickly.

The man's pale face shook his head slightly, "I'm fine."

Only then did several people notice that the man's entire back was stained with blood.

Su Wanning took out the pills she had prepared earlier and handed them to the person in front of her.

"This is the medicine I made myself."

The man glanced at Su Wanning and ate it directly. The woman next to him wanted to stop him, but she was a step too late.

Seeing the person in front of him take the medicine, Su Wanning handed over the entire bottle of medicine in her hand.

"Three times a day, one pill each time."

Then he took out a bottle and handed it to him, "Have someone sprinkle this on your wound."

The man reached out and took it, "Thank you, young lady."

Su Wanning said to a plate of Yueshu, "Give them both cakes."

Yue Shu nodded and put the pastry in the woman's hand.

Before leaving, Su Wanning gave one more piece of advice, "You'd better leave as soon as possible. If you're worried about being investigated by people leaving the city, you can come find me at Qiaoxiang Pavilion."

After Su Wanning left, the woman in the yard quickly helped the man sit down.

"Brother, that woman is obviously in cahoots with the police."

The man had seen it just now. No wonder they were so calm when he asked them to leave quickly. It turned out that they had known it for a long time.

Looking at the two cakes on the table, he said, "Open the cakes and take a few pieces to feed Da Huang."

The woman opened the package of pastries in front of her, and the silver bills inside fell to the ground.

He was stunned for a moment, then bent down to pick it up and put it on the table, then quickly opened another bag of pastries.

A hundred taels of silver were placed in each cake.

"Brother, did we misunderstand her?"

The man looked at the banknotes on the table and thought for a moment, "Feed Da Huang with the cakes."

Even though Su Wanning had good intentions, he didn't want any accidents to happen.

The woman nodded and put all the cakes on the table into the rhubarb basin.

"Brother, are we really leaving the capital?"

The man nodded and said, "This is just the beginning. I'm afraid the capital will become even more chaotic in the future. Let's leave for a while.

Once the capital is stable, if you want to come back again, I will bring you back."

After Su Wanning and the others left, they prepared to rush to the inn where they were staying.

It was already dark, and stalls in the west of the city appeared one after another.

Although it was not yet time for dinner, the few of them were still attracted by the snacks made by the street stalls.

I just walked around and ate on the way back.

As she was walking, someone bumped into her and then she felt her clothes being pulled.

Su Wanning lowered her head to look at her waist, then looked at the person who bumped into her and was holding the jade pendant that Bai Ye had given her.

The pickpocket obviously didn't expect this to happen and looked embarrassed.

Then he let go, letting the jade pendant fall to his waist.

"Sorry, I see your jade pendant is a little dirty, I want to help you wipe it."

Su Wanning: Do you think I believe it?

Yue Shu, who was standing by, stepped forward and pinned down the pickpocket who was trying to escape.

He was taken to a nearby alley and beaten up.

Su Wanning reached out and touched the jade pendant around her waist.

Fortunately, after she realized the importance of the jade pendant today, she not only used the big red rope in the space to wrap it around her waist a few more times.

He even took out a few pins and pinned them on his body.

Although it doesn’t look good, at least it can prevent pickpockets from stealing it.

Unexpectedly, she encountered a pickpocket just after she took the measures.

I looked at the jade pendant hanging on my waist and decided to improve it when I get back.

You can't tie clothes of other colors with a big red rope.

Thinking this way, I kept searching for accessories in the space.

Finally, I passed by a jade pendant shop and bought several strands of rope according to the color of her clothes.

They all chose the thickest one.

She kept thinking about the weaving method that the shop assistant who sold the jade pendant taught her.

Before they knew it, they had already walked most of the way.

Seeing that there was still a long way to go, Su Wanning suddenly felt pain in her feet.

Seeing this, Yue Shu walked through the alley and came to another road.

After a while, Su Wanning saw a carriage at the entrance of the alley.

Su Wanning walked over and got on the carriage. After walking for a while, she saw many carriages parked on the side of the road.

Yue Shu followed Su Wanning's gaze and said, "This is a car rental service in the city. The starting price is ten copper coins, regardless of the distance."

Su Wanning nodded. She didn't expect that the car rental service would be available so early.

We quickly arrived at the inn by carriage. As soon as we got off the carriage, we saw several people waiting anxiously outside the inn.
